Ocean's Blog - Ocean's Ocean -
Just ideas, thoughts, and meanderings.
I keep a fantasy blog here: http://www.MermaidBlog.com, and this one is just light and musy, as in just musing. Or- sometimes it's opinionated, ranting, raving, or generally misbehaving in print.
Isn't that what a blog is for?
Also, sharing information and links, ideas, dreams, and plans.
I might write about being a singer and a songwriter and producer here too.
And I will post articles, and post my artwork sometimes.

It's a Dark Day In America - Human Birth Rates Top Record

Human Overpopulation Becomes Even More Unmanageable

Today is a day of mourning.

Mourning for all the people who will die as a consequence - most of them children, babies, for the places that will become deserts due to tree-felling, for the water, now clear, that will soon become rank. Today, the announcement has come that human overpopulation in America has reached the mark of that of the height of the baby booming year of 1957, meaning that we are now, officially, spiraling very quickly downward toward hellish life conditions and world destruction - UNLESS - and only unless - most start to opt-out of breeding. I have. I have taken the Child-Free Pledge to stay child-free and/or adopt. I can't understand why we, at this point in our history, are not, if not outright ostracizing and even throwing things, at least draping the homes in black of people who choose to have more babies in a world that is overrun by human overpoulation already.

In a world where most children starve every day of their lives worldwide, suffer untold misery in their short lives, and wish that someone in a developed nation would adopt them.

This is so sad - sad for us - if you think you feel crowded now, look out - watch as every year churns out even more drivers on the road, even more self-centeredness, even more desperation, even more rudeness, and all the other negatives that overpoulation always brings.

Get ready for dire weather warnings, due to the turmoil of ever-growing, ever-advancing stampedes of people grabbing land, tearing down trees, and spoiling the waterways - after all - our planet is our only nest, and you know what you're not supposed to do in your own nest, right ?

But just being alive is going to make sewage, make despoilation, make pollution grow.

And one child in a developed nation usurps the energy and resources that literally thousands of children use up in undeveloped nations.

So do not rejoice when you hear of someone's pregnancy.

Ask them instead, "How could you? Are you really that uncaring a person ?"

Then ask them, "Do you have ample - and I mean very ample - resources to keep that child in case you can't work, die, or break up with your support ? Because why should we- as a society - pick up the check for your unbridled selfishness ?"

Then ask your government - "Please take out tax penalties on people who breed. "

And get active.

Stay child-free if you are so lucky.

Date only those guys who are cool enough to get a vasectomy.

If you do make a mistake, own up to it. Do the right thing. (Don't think of abortion - let someone adopt your kid.)

Use at LEAST two forms of contraception at all times, and do not drink while on a date. Stay lucid.

And adopt by all means, if you can or if you feel a need to parent.

And wake up others to the realities of life now - not of life two thousand years ago !

Also, Read:

Thinking of having a baby ? ReadChildFix first and take the questionnaire.

Think of the world as o ne household. The house is small, the income fixed, and they cannot move. The family already has a child, and cannot feed another, and yet they think of having another child. Either the quality of life will suffer and each will have less food, they will put o­ne out to starve, close the windows, and not heed his cries, or - they will do the kind thing, the spiritual thing, the sane thing and stop having children.EcoChildFreeStop Human OverpopulationGetFixed.orgChildFix

AND - By the Way - Are you aware that we who do not have children are in the majority ? That means we, the Child-Free, are a potent political force.
